From now on version 0.4 of »dtaus« is available at usual places.

DTAUS means paperless money transfer with German banks on floppies
This package contains a library that reads and writes German DTAUS
files. DTAUS is an acronym for DatenTraegerAUStausch. It is used by
german credit institutes in order to transfer commands for money
exchanges between accounts. This format is used both between banks
and between banks and their customers. One mainly wants to use it to
be able to do automatic "Bankeinzuege". This package probably will
only be useful in Germany.

 - Added short description for control files

 - Ensured that BLZ and KTO consist only of digits, even if the
   user has specified something different. Banks won't accept files
   otherwise.

 - Applied fix for a y2k issue that prevents some banks from
   accepting the files.

 - Improved README file, added links to the web page and the mailing list.

 - Added TODO file

 - Added information about different types of dtaus files to README
   file.

 - Better support for "Gutschriften", the former version forgot to
   write this where needed. Fixed now.

The package has its own homepage at http://www.infodrom.north.de/dtaus/ .
I have created a mailing list where development and use may be
discussed. It's archived within the above homepage.

Regards,

        Joey
